Where is the Pressure? - CLiCK


Barre From Above and Behind - CLiCK


Barre from Front - CLiCK

Hope these help…

That's a great little tutorial. I learned Barre chords right out of the gate so I have no difficulty with them. In fact, I never use power chords at all. I just play the full Barre chord and pick the two or three strings needed to make the sound. That's weird.
